On October 14, the 9th All-Russian Economic Dictation took place on the theme "A Strong Economy – A Prosperous Russia!" The educational event was traditionally organized by the Free Economic Society, with the support of the Russian Historical Society, the Yuri Luzhkov Foundation, and the administrations of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation.
Traditionally, the dictation brought together participants from all regions of Russia, as well as from a number of foreign countries: Belarus, Argentina, Kazakhstan, Turkey, Syria, China, and others. According to TASS, 1,422 venues were set up to host the event this year.
The Saint Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering also served as a regional venue for the All-Russian Economic Dictation. Over two hundred students from the Faculty of Economics and Management (FEM) tested their knowledge of economic theory, modern government support programs for citizens and entrepreneurs, the global economy, and international relations. In addition, a number of questions focused on historical facts, as well as literary and film excerpts related to economics.
Nikolai Churikov, a second-year student at the Faculty of Economics and Management (FEM), shared his success in answering questions covered in the courses "Economic Theory" and "Organizational Economics" after participating in the dictation. Isa Magerramov, a postgraduate student at the Department of Construction and Housing and Utilities Economics, also shared his impressions of the event: "This initiative is an important tool for improving citizens' financial literacy; it fosters interest in economics, which is especially relevant in a rapidly changing world." Ekaterina Ogurtsova, a third-year student at the FEM, received a winner's diploma after completing the economic dictation, scoring 96 points out of a possible 100.
Yuri Tsvetkov, Deputy Dean for Research at the Faculty of Economics and Management and Associate Professor of the Department of Construction Economics and Housing and Utilities, noted the results of the educational event: "The All-Russian Economic Dictation highlights the importance of the economist's profession, enhances knowledge of various economic categories and laws, and draws young people's attention to key events taking place in the economic and social spheres of our country."
